Would This Implant Fit Ok?

Tags: implant size, proportion

I am 5'3,56kg, with a 30" rib. i am currently a full B/small C. thinking of getting between 350cc-400cc implants. Silicone, subglandular (due to slight droop)and High Profile. maybe mod+. I have a fair amount of tissue, but just wondering if this size implant will fit without looking too big or silly. I would not like the "posh spice" look I am looking at a lot of photos, and the majority of the ones i like are around the full D cup. Thanks in advance for any replies

Implants over the muscle for drooping? Not a good idea.

Is a 400 implant too big? I would predict that this would make you a small to middle D cup size. If that is not too big, then it is fine. The part I DO NOT understand, is why would you put an implant above the muscle when you already have drooping, when doing so will accentuate your droop? That is like putting a rock in a sock and not expecting it to droop more. At least putting the implant below the muscle will not add to the weight of the breast and make... more

Without measurements it is difficult to say for sure. From your photos the size range you have seelcted appear appropriate. You will look fabulous. Good luck.

Breast Implant Size

You do have a good breast envelope. There is almost no droop. Your left nipple appers to be slightly lower than the right. In my opinion, you are a perfect candidate for breast augmentation. I am a proponent of submuscular breast augmentation for all the advantages it offers. You should have no problem in getting the size you are interested. Good luck

Breast implant sizing

Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal. 2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle... more

Breast implant sizing

I would agree with Dr. Mills and condemn the choice of putting an implant subglandular and certainly not for supposed ptosis. You are highly likely to eventually regret that choice and will look like the fake look you're concerned with. You could even consider a properly sized and filled saline-filled implant under the pectoralis muscle as you have adequate coverage on the side of your breast but will feel the implant significantly on the underside. The answer to sizing (at... more

You should decide on your own breast implant size.

Ultimately you need to be the one that feels good about the size implant that you choose. Your doctor should give you professional recommendations that will work for you and then let you choose for yourself within those guidelines. It is impossible to tell from your photos whether that will be too big or not. Try them on and see what you think about the volume of your breasts with the implants inside your bra. Ultimately you want a result that YOU want and not what your... more

Breast augmentation & proper implant

You do have grade one ptosis (sagginess ) with some assymetry . From the posted photos it appears that you have adequate soft tissue ( breast & fat ) to cover implants . Silicone implants , moderate profile , 350 -400 ml would fit you nicely . To be certain you can ask if your plastic surgeon could slip sizer implants in your bra to get some idea how you would look like after your surgery.

You are choosing a very popular range of implants that may very well get you into the size you want. Also note your asymmetry. A full exam woudl be key to properly assess what you need.
